Expectations on Alcaraz and Djokovic

He had also done the same after the Wimbledon final, won by the Iberian against Novak Djokovic. The coach, who is currently following the Canadian Felix Auger- Alissime, expressed to the microphones of El Pais: "I honestly don't see any tennis player on the current scene, with the exception of Nole, capable of stopping Carlos's unstoppable rise." The former coach also talked about the Serbian tennis player, his nephew's great rival in the last twenty years.
